Gingerbread Men!

     Run, run as fast as you can. You can't  catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!!!

     

     We read a few versions of the Gingerbread Man story last week.  This was a great opportunity to talk about story characters.  We also recalled the beginning (B), middle (M), and end (E) of the story.  Then, we just had to made some of our own!

 

     We made them by making a ball of dough for the tummy, a smaller ball for the head, and some dough snakes for the arms and legs.  We decorated them with chocolate chips and raisins.  Fortunately, they did not run away!

     We wrote about who our gingerbreads could be running away from using Teaching with love and laughter's adorable printable.  You can get this for free at http://teachingwithloveandlaughter.blogspot.com/2013/12/gingerbread-writing-freebie.html

     We used our free Gingerbread teen number ten frames match that's part of our Winter Counting Pack - Get it for free here:  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Winter-Counting-Activity-Pages-436707

     We also made some gingerbread playdo by adding cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to a basic playdo recipe.  What fun!

Enjoy,
